In terms of data storage via hard disk, there are several variants available today.

  • hard disk (HD)
  • servers: several hard disks (x HD)
  • storage servers: specialized in storage (xx HD)
  • storage bays (xxx HD)
  • x storage bays
To link these technologies together and create more powerful combinations, several solutions exist.
These include DAS (Direct Attached Storage), NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network). DataCore offers virtual SAN technology.
The aim of this technology is to link together several storage arrays capable of supporting a multitude of disks.
The DataCore version we installed for Fondation Hirondelle is based on copper, not fiber optics.
In particular, DataCore enables :

  • Reduces storage costs by 75%.
  • 10-fold increase in performance
  • 4-fold increase in capacity utilization
  • Reduces storage-related downtime by 100%.
  • Reduces time spent on routine storage tasks by 90%.
